Default Picked up a 89 4 door. come look whats going under the hood!

Hey fellas,
I finally found a decent ride. Its an 89 4 door. white on blue. I though that I would hate the blue interior. but its in such good shape thats pretty cool. Its got like 233k on it. and the motor burns oil. but for 500 bucks...its all good. So here in about a week its getting painted frost white. and a few weeks after that Im dropping my ls motor in it.





Specs on the motor:
p73 pistons
arp rod bolts
arp head studs
dhr ported, polished, and 5 angle valve job head. NON VTEC
Crower 404s, crower double springs and retainers.
The motor laid down 184 whp. I have no dyno sheets to prove this but once its in the car the guys at P1 are gonna tune it on the mustang and ill post it.

Just make sure you leave her at home if you decide to get crazy. Sure you already know that though.
